Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Brenda Brooks Tucker was convicted in absentia of financial identity fraud and financial transaction credit card fraud in an amount of over five hundred dollars. The trial court sentenced her to ten years imprisonment on the financial identity theft charge and imposed a concurrent five-year sentence for the conviction for credit card fraud.

On appeal, counsel for Appellant has filed an Anders brief along with a petition to be relieved as counsel, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to grant a continuance solely because the out-of-state victim had traveled to Richland County for the trial. Tucker has not filed a prose response.

After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.
